Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
The pinkies have been going off recently in Port Phillip bay, with fish from just size through to 6kg on the bite. Most of the fish that have been caught by angers fishing the reef systems have been around size through to a few better fish up to 2 - 3kg. The main areas to try for a few include Williamstown, Sandringham, Black Rock, Frankston and Mt Martha. Finding the fish on a day where they want to eat can be the tricky part though.
James from Unreel Fishing Charters has been fishing around Black Rock with some customers where they have been happily getting a few nice table fish. Most of the fish kept have been around the 40cm mark, and have been taking pilchard and squid fished on 3/0 circle hooks.
On the squid front, there have been good numbers of squid caught by keen anglers making the most of calmer conditions or braving the colder nights. Most of the numbers are made up from around Mornington and further south, but there have been plenty of squid caught buy anglers to the north of the bay from Mordialloc through to Brighton. Further north a lot of squid have been favouring darker coloured jigs with blacks, greens and reds working well. Down the southern end of the bay there have still been plenty of small squid taken at Mornington pier, with size 1.5 - 2.0 jigs the only way to go. Colours always vary but good options to have are glow jigs in pink and orange, along with natural silver and blues to change to.
